The President sat down with Scott Pelley last year, Katie Couric in 2010, and with Matt Lauer in 2009 and 2012.
So CBS went with their evening news anchors, FOX and NBC opted not to. Perhaps FOX isn't the only network not particularly interested in boosting their news division with the Presidential interview? Don't we get the pleasure - again - of avoiding part 2 of this genital measuring contest tomorrow night?

I have a question about Fox's decision to again use Bill O’Reilly to interview the President. I am not suggesting they don't have the right to do that, but I am wondering why it is in their best interest to. All of my conservative friends passionately insist that it is unfair of me to dismiss Fox News as a serious news organization, because most of my examples are of their opinion shows, not the news shows, which they say are as good or better than any other news operation on television. So, why not ask someone like Chris Wallace, whose job it actually is to conduct news interviews on sundays, to interview the president on what must be the single largest audience Fox News would ever have? Wouldn't that do a lot more to enhance Fox News' somewhat tattered reputation in the general public? I know they like to feed their core audience red meat, but those guys are watching the Factor anyway. As it is, O'Reilly simply reinforces every negative stereotype non Fox News viewers already have about them. It just seems like a bad business decision to me.
